    • Themes for slideshow?

    Posted by bob posts: 2
    I can't seem to find any documentation about setting themes for the slideshow plugin. My company wants to have a custom background and header on the slideshows. We're using version 18.x

    The documentation — at https://doc.tiki.org/PluginSlideshow#Slideshow_Theme_style — says the theme can be switched. Did you try that? Maybe there's one that's close enough. Otherwise, I don't know. As for a custom background and header, I suppose that might require checking out the theme files in the slideshow library and duplicating/modifying one, or maybe the colors, etc. could be overridden with new CSS. That would take looking at the slideshow using a browser's DOM inspector or web developer tools, to inspect the header and background and identifying the CSS selectors involved, and adding custom CSS in the Look and Feel admin page's customization tab.

    It looks like the themes used for the slideshow are using jqueryUI's theme roller, which doesn't appear to be able to control the overall page's background (at least not from what I've seen). I need to mimic our powerpoint template which includes a logo and classification markings, so I might have to alter the plugin itself because I'm starting to think this isn't something I can control through a simple theme/template.

    Looks to me like the slideshow uses the body background so something like this might work:

    Copy to clipboard
    body.tiki-slideshow {
    background-image: url(display3488);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
}
